Trust.
A simple word, used often in human speech.
But what does it really mean to trust?
And more importantly…who are you trusting?
Are you trusting yourself?
The words of others?
Are you putting your trust in structures, corporations, governments…
or are you trusting in God, Source, Consciousness?
There are many ways to define trust.
But the most important one, the root of all others, is trust in self.
Life can be a battlefield.
It can also be a beautiful garden.
It rises and falls like waves, like roller coasters, like breath.
I remember speaking with Sandra Pelly on The DrunkenBuddha Podcast.
She called life a testing ground.
And in the midst of storms, when you’re drowning with no lighthouse in sight, it can feel like just that.
So what do you do?
Do you fight against the current, flailing for control?
Or do you release and trust that you were made to float?
When I’ve tried to survive life’s storms through sheer willpower and force…
it only made things worse.
The more I fought, the more I sank.
But when I finally broke, when there was nothing left to hold onto.
I let go.
I chose to drown.
And in that moment, as I sank beneath everything I thought I needed to survive…
I floated.
I rose.
I looked up, and the stars were winking at me,
each one a reminder that I am not just meant to survive.
I am made of the very same light I was searching for.
You are not broken.
You are not too far gone.
You are not weak for letting go.
You are the lighthouse you’ve been waiting for.
But to remember this, you must surrender.
Surrender to the intelligence woven into your very being.
Surrender to the current, the one designed to carry you home.
Surrender to the divine artist painting with your life.
We are taught to trust systems.
Governments. Corporations. Family roles. Societal rules.
And when we fall apart, those systems often fail us.
Not always, but often.
And when they do, it’s not personal.
It’s because systems require you to replace your self-trust with trust in the machine.
That’s how they’re built.
But if you trust the unseen…
if you trust the divine that lives in your own heartbeat…
you become a threat.
A signal disruptor.
A black sheep.
A lighthouse in a world that wants you lost at sea.
You will be doubted.
You might even doubt yourself.
But this is the pivot point.
This is the moment of remembrance.
You were built for the storm.
Your essence already holds the codes to survive it.
Not just to survive, but to rise.
This is why I created The Trust Codes.
Not as a doctrine, not as a course, but as a lifeline.
A map for those who have been broken, floating, searching for something real.
Available for free because survival shouldn’t come at a cost.
Only at the price of remembering.

If you’re weathering your own storm, or know someone who is…
🖤 The Trust Codes are here.
Take them.
Float.
